July 2, 2015 - I recently did a workshop at OuiShareFest conference in Paris, an introduction to bitcoin and the blockchain for a non-technical audience. I loved it. The attendees were from all over the world - many had signed up for my session in advance, and several more came after we met at the conference and I told them about my presentation.
At the end of the session (and for the rest of the week) I sent everyone their first bitcoin, €1 worth. For most people I sent it via ChangeTip, the great app that uses bitcoin for tipping, supporting writers, artists and charitable organizations, and making the world a genuinely nicer place in the process. I also tied the giveaway in via Twitter, since that’s a simple way to send and receive tips, though ChangeTip is integrated with many apps, making it as easy as possible.
We’ll discuss the adoption of Bitcoin and more at Coin Congress. To get your tickets, register via Eventbrite or with Bitcoin:
